Book synopsis

The Suri has an old tradition of child spacing practice. The reason for their child spacing practices are related to child welfare especially related to child feeding practices, maternal well being for fear of maternal depletion as a result of closely spaced births and the violent way of life that the Suri people often find themselves in. The traditional methods used for child spacing include the rhythm method, post partum sexual abstinence, and prolonged breastfeeding. Traditional sexual norms such as polygamy and extramarital relation in men and the pastoralist way of life support child spacing practice using the traditional methods. In instances of unwanted pregnancy, the Suri try to induce abortion using local materials and plants.
